Frank, Thanks for your reply. As this is not a feature built in can I raise this as a feature request (at least as some command line option for TShark, the -N argument[1] seems like a good place to put this, perhaps using a character like "c" for cache?) I opted to write something that uses TShark to retrieve the DNS packets (using the result code like you suggested), parse the results and then re-run TShark with ip.addr == to the pre-parsed DNS response. It's a horrible workaround but it works. Matthew [1] http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html On 09/11/2011 13:55, Frank Cui wrote:
I think this task cannot be done by just playing with the wireshark tool alone. You need to instruct the system to use the mapping relationship that already exists in the capture dump. Here is a brief description of the process that you could use to write a script. First use the tshark find the response packet AND result code=0(which means that the dns query is done successfully, note the actual field name could be something different). If there exists such packets, then subtract the name and ip in this packet. Lastly clear your dns cache, and add in the host file this mapping relationship. Hope this helps Frank Sent from my iPad On 2011-11-10, at 7:25 AM, Matthew <matthew1471 () matthew1471 co uk> wrote:Hello, I have already posted this to http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/7339/parse-incoming-dns-but-do-not-query-dns-server but know it is probably more likely to get answered on here: I have a packet capture from my LAN that contains a DNS query (wireless) and response (192.168.0.7). When I copy it to another network and turn on name resolution it attempts to ask the DNS server for the host name of the IP (192.168.0.7) of the traffic... then gives up because the DNS server doesn't have it, /but/ then notices that there is a DNS packet in the file already and uses the results of that. The HTTP session is then showing a destination of "wireless". Turning off host name resolution shows only connections to 192.168.0.7 How can I make Wireshark (or tshark) look at the DNS in the file and see if it resolves the IP addresses to hostnames but *not* have it issue queries to the DNS server of my machine which take a while to time out and slow the loading of files down? Basically I want to do a filter on "ip.host == wireless" which the trace contains the DNS request and response to (and it works if I leave name resolution enabled even on a different network) but I want to cut out querying my DNS servers (which turning on name resolution does).
